This week’s Tuesdays With Dorie treat is Sugar-Topped Molasses Cookies. Since I had ever-so-much to say about the chestnut cake last week, I will keep this one short and sweet. Besides, since we have been allowed to post out of order this month, I have seen these on many blogs (I think I may be one of the last TWD bakers to make them) and I think everyone knows how good they are now. Spicy, molassesy, and crunchy from the sugar – an excellent treat to fill your cookie jar during the cool months.
This recipe rated a 7.5 for Deliciousness and 2 for Effort, giving it an EDR of 2.75. Many thanks to Pamela of Cookies with Boys for choosing a great seasonal cookie. Drop by Pamela’s site to read her TWD post and for the recipe, which she kindly posted last week, and stay for the adorable photos of her boys and some nice healthy recipes.

I LOVED these. Made them last week and am making them to take with us on Thanksgiving when we visit family. Yours look fabulous! I made the cran apple crisp this week, so good!
ReplyDeleteYour cookies are beautiful! I love that you rolled them in raw sugar -- it makes them sparkle. They're tasty cookies, aren't they? I haven't made the chestnut cake yet. I keep putting it off, so next week is the week for that! I need to go back and read your post before I make it.
ReplyDeleteI simply love who the sugar dots show on your cookies! They look so much more whimsical that way! Bravo, Margot!
ReplyDeleteYour cookies are so pretty! I'll have to use raw sugar next time. We liked these a lot too.
ReplyDeleteI love the sugar you rolled these in.
ReplyDeleteI almost went with a large grained sugar.
you're not the last to make them--i haven't made any of the november recipes due to being sick all month! boo! these look great though
ReplyDeleteMargot - those cookies look perfect! Now you must tell me, which do you prefer - Pure Dessert ginger cookies or these?
ReplyDeleteThese look too perfect to eat. You are a professional cookie baker, I swear. Love it!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful with the sanding sugar! They almost look like little porcupines. I also made them this week, so you aren't the last one. That's how I feel about the crisp.
ReplyDeleteThese were good, weren't they? Love your regular shaped cookies.
ReplyDeleteI made these too! Yours look really tasty!
ReplyDeleteI dipped mine in chocolate!

Your cookies look so beautiful with the large sugar crystals all over them! I didn't have anything but granulated so I didn't get the same effect (I made these this week, too) though I think they are gorgeous the way you made them. I really loved these, though I am certainly planning on making Alice Medrich's ginger cookies this weekend and comparing the two.
ReplyDeleteThese were great cookies. Yours look extra-good because of how you covered them in sugar! Great job. Chestnut cake next week for me.
ReplyDeletePicture perfect! You did an amazing job.
ReplyDeleteYour cookies are beautiful with the sanding sugar! I made these too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for baking the cookies with me. Yours look so pretty and have such sparkle. I also really like that plate you have them on!
ReplyDeleteEasy. Delicious. Spicy. What more could you ask for in a cookie.
ReplyDeleteYours look wonderful with that big crunchy sugar on the outside. Very nice!!
ReplyDeleteYou've got some serious sugar going on with those cookies. Sparkly and special!
ReplyDeleteDid you decide to do the C&H sugar deal? Interesing....
I absolutely love how your cookies are covered in sparkly sugar! You couldn't even see the sugar on mine after I baked them. These were delicious cookies and the more blogs I see them on the more I wish I still had some left :)
